Dose Venser, the Sojourner +2 proc Illusions of Grandeur?
Asked by tikitree 8 years ago
Building a EDH deck with Zedruu the Greathearted as my commander, and I thought of a combo but wanted to ask if it would work.
The combo:I play Illusions of Grandeur ganging 20 life, then I use Zedruu the Greathearted ability to give it to the opponent. then I use Venser, the Sojourner +2 to exile Illusions of Grandeur dealing 20 damage. Then next turn I get Illusions of Grandeur back giving me another 20 life. then repeat to victory.

Note that Illusions of Grandeur makes the player lose 20 life, not take 20 damage. Loss of life is not the same as taking damage.

"Proc" isn't really a thing in Magic, since triggered abilities don't trigger randomly. They trigger every time the triggering event occurs.
Illusions of Grandeur has abilities that trigger when it enters the battlefield and when it leaves the battlefield. Venser, the Sojourner's +2 ability causes the object to leave the battlefield and then enter the battlefield again, so yes, Illusions of Grandeur will trigger.
